QID 982594: Java (maven) Security Update for org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-core (GHSA-2rvv-w9r2-rg7m)

When serving resources from a network location using the NTFS file system, Apache Tomcat versions 10.0.0-M1 to 10.0.0-M9, 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.39, 8.5.0 to 8.5.59 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.106 were susceptible to JSP source code disclosure in some configurations. The root cause was the unexpected behaviour of the JRE API File.getCanonicalPath() which in turn was caused by the inconsistent behaviour of the Windows API (FindFirstFileW) in some circumstances.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
